Fight acne harnessing the power of light with the Neutrogena Light Therapy Acne Mask!

Neutrogena Light Therapy Acne Mask - $49.99 - an innovative LED device that treats the face in just one step, sending therapeutic red and blue wavelengths into the skin at the speed of light for a dual-action approach that helps disrupt the acne cycle and deliver clearer, healthier skin.

It's a neat concept, albeit with a bit of a Friday the 13th, Jason vibe - the mask itself weighs less than a pound, and sits on the face supported by a sunglasses-style frame with amber-coloured lenses to minimize glare. It's a 100% chemical-free treatment - all the therapeutic powers are the result of biological mechanisms triggered by blue and red light - which kills the acne bacteria while reducing inflammation - making it a great way to fight mild to moderate acne that is super-gentle to the skin. Just push the power button to start the 10 minute treatment and the mask turns off automatically - that's it!

The mask is good for 30 sessions but don't worry, you won't have to throw it away, you just need to pick up a new Activator for $20.99 that will give you 30 more treatments - Neutrogena is also partnering with Stericycle to help you easily recycle your used-up Activator so you don't have to have any garbage guilt!

Available now at food, drug and mass retailers across Canada.

Fragrant Friday - Katy Perry's INDI

Katy Perry introduces a new fragrance that is as unique as the people who wear it:

Katy Perry's INDI - 50ml EDP - $58, 30ml EDP - $38 - a one of a kind seductive musk fragrance that elevates the senses with top notes of white tea, Oriental plum and Italian bergamot; heart notes of fresh muguet, cyclamen and white cedar wood; and base notes of velvety amber sultan, vanilla tonka bean and seductive musks. 

If you're a fan of a musk, you're going to love this one - it has eleven different musks in it but not in an  overpowering way - the fresh notes keep it from being overwhelming - this is probably my favourite of all of Katy's fragrances so far!
